About GitHub's form schema

You can use GitHub's form schema to configure forms for supported features. For more information, see "Configuring issue templates for your repository."

A form is a set of elements for requesting user input. You can configure a form by creating a YAML form definition, which is an array of form elements. Each form element is a set of key-value pairs that determine the type of the element, the properties of the element, and the constraints you want to apply to the element. For some keys, the value is another set of key-value pairs.

For example, the following form definition includes four form elements: a text area for providing the user's operating system, a dropdown menu for choosing the software version the user is running, a checkbox to acknowledge the Code of Conduct, and Markdown that thanks the user for completing the form.

YAML
- type: textarea
  attributes:
    label: Operating System
    description: What operating system are you using?
    placeholder: "Example: macOS Big Sur"
    value: operating system

    options:

        required: true
- type: markdown
  attributes:
    value: "Thanks for completing our form!"
